alexa_media_player: Announcement stopped working on third party devices: Sonos Speakers, ecobee4, Bose

Describe the bug Announce doesn’t work, while TTS does. Until Sunday announce worked perfect on my Alexa enabled Sonos speakers (Sonos One and Beam). If i use the Aleaxa app to do the annoncement it works perfect. In the FAQ is mentioned to check that “Communications” is enabled and it is on all my speakers. But i noties that if I click on “Communications” the Alexa app get stuck loading the page. It is one of my favorite features and I use it as my doorbell annoncement.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Send announce to Sonos Alexa enabled speaker.
  2. Northing happens

Expected behavior Play announced message on every speaker taget.
